From the "It's Funny 'Cause It's [Almost] True" Department

Maranatha's April Fools joke: a Master's in Bus Ministry

The image below is NOT a joke. It's a screen capture from an actual independent, fundamental Baptist college catalog.

Favorite class (from MBBC): "BM 409: Assigned Seats?: Calvinistic Thought and the Bus Ministry"

Too funny. And, Bro Jim, your comment is a hoot. I had students at BJ who would affirm this! It came to the point where I'd wait until the second week of classes to make up a seating chart so everyone could be a "free agent" (and isn't it so funny that while being a free agent, each one settles into their own little niche--and don't you dare take their seat!) Sorta like some predestined spots in church pews I can think of. :D

Absolutely hilarious!! Good to see this sense of humor from MBBC. Though I am somewhat suprised that it got approved.

Where is the goldfish swallowing, tie cutting, or pie in the face class? Those are also integral aspects of a fundamental bus ministry!

Terp,

I, too, was looking for Techniques and Methods of Goldfish Swallowing 417.

How about a major in Marriage and Motherhood? See http://hylesanderson.edu/academics-programs or page 84 in their catalog.
